Seri Teratai, Official residence on Macalister Road, Penang, Malaysia.
The residence stands as a governmental building featuring local architectural elements along a tree-lined section of Macalister Road in central Penang.
Constructed in 1926, the building changed its name from Rumah Tetamu to Seri Teratai following renovations during Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's administration.
The residence functions as a center for governmental ceremonies and official receptions, including the Chinese New Year Open House celebrations.
Visitors can reach the residence by car through the one-way Macalister Road from Jalan Utama, with St George's Girls School serving as a reference point.
Multiple Chief Ministers opted not to reside in the building due to persistent termite problems and maintenance costs requiring substantial renovation work.
